Name Brand Recognition for Free Email can spell SUCCESS
A recent survey among Internet users surprisingly shows, your email address is important, and in cyber space, brand name recognition is everything. When recently polled, over 500 college age students, we found out that your email address can say volumes about you. "This hidden identity marker is most important", says Berkley student Lisa May, a senior majoring in finance. "If I meet a cute guy and he gives me a "HOT" email address, well, I usually have some reservations, my first thought is, he's a player. If a guy gives me his address at say, MyPersonalEmail.com, then I feel he is probably more genuine and honest". Aaron Brown, a fourth year law major says, "The last thing I want a future employer to think about me is that I am some sort of Internet hormone or geek. I use a very professional and normal sounding email address for my friends family and my professional contacts". Among the most popular free email sites ranked by college students surveyed, MyPersonalEmail.com and Hotmail were the overwhelming favorite choices. MyPersonalEmail.com ranked a clear lead with 74% of students favoring this clean fast web portal, with Hotmail, Mailcity and Yahoo slugging it out for the remaining 26%. Most students own a least one free email address because they frequently change internet service providers. Free email offers stability in a constantly changing arena such as the internet. In the ever changing world of cyberspace, the choice of email address can be one of your most important decisions. It's a modern day name tag. The moral of the story, your email address says ALOT about you, choose one carefully.
